1. How much current does a PIC draw when in sleep mode ??
2. I have a PIC that is in sleep mode. When its time for work the PC wakes up the PIC and the PIC performs and transfers the data through the Hardware UART and then goes back to sleep. Now the problem is how th wake up the PIC from sleep. I thought of the foll options:
a: Send the external interrupt(RB0/INT) from PC to PIC. (i think it is unreliable)
b: Change on RB input pins. (This is Not in my design)
c: Use the Watch dog timer (My sleep mode is random based..can wake up at any time as desired)
So none of these methods (except the first) suits my design. Are there any other methods i can use ??
